Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Ubuntu Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by ColinWatson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/SudoAdminAtspi The comment on the change is: a bit more info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * As a side-effect, this means that a11y doesn't work with remote X displays (eg, LTSP) * The real fix for this is too complicated for us. * However, we think we can make it work by patching the at-spi bridge lookup to use SUDO_USER. This is a grievous hack but doesn't make anything any worse. + * ColinWatson: I've investigated orbit2's setup code and found that it uses `g_get_user_name` to find its `/tmp/orbit-*` directory which on Unix picks the username out of `getpwuid`; it should therefore be sufficient to make the at-spi bridge lookup temporarily drop privileges while connecting to the bridge, which means we don't have to mess with orbit2 itself. I volunteer to produce a patch for LukeYelavich to test. * Another problem is that the display-grabbing of gksu prevents the use of a11y tools with the gksu interface (eg, on-screen keyboard). * There is a gconf key named ??? which can disable this display-grabbing. This "solves" the problem in that it makes it possible to use gksu with a11y tools.
